Condition

Unexamined out of the frame. The work is formed of eight individual sheets, joined together by the artist. There are scattered small pin holes visible to the extreme edges of several of the individual, smaller sheets, in keeping with the nature of the Artist's techniques. The overall sheet is slightly cockled, and appears to be adhered to the backboard in a few places, but is not laid down. There are two extremely tiny, minor tears in the upper left hand corner. There are some light traces of studio detritus visible upon closer inspection, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition. Housed behind glass in a thick dark wooden frame, float-mounted against a cream backing. Unexamined out of frame.
